  - cool, mom has me on her accounts as trustee -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 7, 11:05
  - But the death certificate will take a while. You’ll be locked out until you get it. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 07:55
  - what if you have an online bank? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 7, 07:47
  - thank you Uncle Turd -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 07:45

- Follow up poll: Who's the executor of your will? - Mop Feb 7, 07:20 10
  - yeah yeah yeah, I'm gonna write it soon. Even more important: Who is the beneficiary on your investment accounts (retirement, etc) - ty97 Feb 7, 07:27 3
    - touchy subject in this household. - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 07:35 1
      - I'm pretty sure ours goes between spouses and only if we are both gone does the beneficiary go to kid. -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 07:40
    - I mean, the way things are going, Trump could probably use the money. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 07:28
  - a friend of mine passed away recently with no will, no beneficiaries on anything. he was estranged from his parents so there was nobody to make any - amanda jeans Feb 7, 07:26 2

  - Thank you. -- nm - colin Feb 7, 06:35
- The executor should have access with a copy of the will and the death certificate. -- nm* - Andie Feb 7, 06:30 10
  - If there’s no will/executor, then next of kin, but either way you’ll probs need a lawyer and a week or so. - mafic Feb 7, 06:36 4
    - We have that set up with my dad's accounts. But he also keeps a cashier's check in the safety deposit box made to me so I can immediately pay whatever - sycor Feb 7, 07:40
    - Your IM greatly helped when my mom passed. My step dad now has it set up this way too. -- nm - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 07:10
    - Your IM is what we had with both of dave's parents, it is a good thing to do (for everyone else here - save yourself a future headache.) -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 06:39 1

    - probate will need to be opened if there's no benficiary. also if there is NOK and no beneficiary is designated, NOK will likely have to - amanda jeans Feb 7, 07:23
    - Are you (or whomever) on the account? They'd have to be on the account, so with a death certificate the person should be able to access. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 7, 06:40
    - May vary by state and probate laws for that state (but I'm not an expert on this) -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 06:36
    - Really don't know laws there, but that would give anyone with a death certificate access to a deceased person's money... -- nm* - Andie Feb 7, 06:35

- if only there was a way to tell whether they worked or not... -- (link) - Beaker Feb 7, 06:12 6

    - Until omicron, we'd freak out if cases hit double digits. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 06:45 1
      - We’re freaking out now with 20/day. It’s literally been 0 for 20 months. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 06:47
    - And WA specifically has 9 deaths (2.5 million people), and none since May, 2020. It’s a weird bubble. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 06:44
  - Atlantic Canada deaths per million are 185 and we've had arguably the strictest mandates this whole time (also more spread out population too) -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:13 1
    - Yes and no : PEI, NS and NB are 1,2 and 4 for population density in Canada. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 06:43
- (I've been sensing that a lot of mask mandates are going to start going away in the next couple of months) -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:35 3
  - It's definitely gaining steam. -- (link) - Inigo Feb 7, 05:44 2
    - Last August, the federal mask mandate for planes and airport was extended to March 18, 2022. - ty97 Feb 7, 05:45 1
      - I think most places are gonna end mask mandates, but some will keep them and require KN95 or better. -- nm - Inigo Feb 7, 05:56
School cancelled today in our district. Not because of weather or anything like that. Because a downstate judge ruled against the Illinois mask - oblique Feb 7, 05:33 3
- I don't see how you can deny mask mandates and still enforce dress codes or even clothing at all. How do you enforce sanitary rules for food processing? -- nm* - Mop Feb 7, 06:28 2
  - Presumably because of where the requirement comes from. These are executive orders, not governing bodies or legislated requirements. -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 06:29 1
    - That is correct. Emergency orders can (and really should) only last so long. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 07:06
Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines are merging. -- (link) - ty97 Feb 7, 05:17 16
- Cool, I love having more choices when it comes to flying. It keeps prices lower, gives companies and incentive to win your business. -- nm - colin Feb 7, 06:03 3
  - This is the definition of less choices though -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 06:09 2
    - I don't doubt this increases prices, but I'd also argue that there now be an increased possibility of getting from point A to point B on this new airline. -- (edited) - Mop Feb 7, 07:45
    - I'm just a dumb consumer who thinks consolidation is good for me, because I lap up billionaire's lies. - colin Feb 7, 06:22
- What are the 4 larger ones? - decline Feb 7, 05:30 2
  - Southwest -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:31 1
    - And then I think (currently) Alaska is 5 and Jetblue is 6? -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:32
- So you only have one airline to avoid now? -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 05:24 4
  - Allegiant still exists :/ -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:27 3
    - Had we not hit a bird and then get caught by a thunderstorm while landing it would have been fine. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 05:41 2
      - I figure it's no different than flying any European carrier (even British, Air France, etc) within Europe. - ty97 Feb 7, 05:47 1
        
        That said, Spirit/Frontier/Allegiant have a very limited presence in NYC. - ty97 Feb 7, 05:52
- so whats the new name gonna be. Frontier Spirit? Spirit of the Frontier? Extra Charges Air? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 7, 05:21 3
  - TBD but I'm guessing Spirit may be the brand that comes out of this. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:23 1
    - that would be....unfortunate -- nm - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 07:15

Have I ever mentioned my former kiwi coworker that we had to ask to refer to decks as porches or patios? - mafic Feb 7, 05:03 4
